Don't count on it. Julien and Olivier are the ones responsible for Benighted sounding the way they do. These two guys were basically stop-gaps and filled in only very recently, so their impact on the band was minimal at best.

Okay. That explains why they preferred going for their side project instead of third wheeling.
